Photographic mission of Christian Aschman (book)

Description

For over fifteen years, the Fonds Kirchberg has commissioned contemporary photographers to document the area’s urban evolution. In 2022–2023, Christian Aschman explored this ever-changing territory through more than fifty sessions across a year. Gaining access to rooftops, he captured striking bird’s-eye views defined by architectural lines, shifting landscapes and a near absence of people. His work reveals the scale, layered history and ongoing transformation of the Plateau. The project resulted in a book and an exhibition at LUCA (2023–2024), completed by a lecture.
